Christmas Tree Toppers for Cakes or Cupcakes

December 11, 2013 by Roxy

Xmas Tree Toppers - Roxy's Kitchen Watermark-1

I have already started thinking of my baking projects for this holiday season and guess what I have on my list… cakes, cakes and more cakes : -)! Since I need to make some decorations ahead of time I wanted to try a few versions of Christmas Tree Toppers. All of them turned out pretty cute but, my vote goes to Christmas Tree # 2 since it’s so quick to make! I love the sparkles from # 3 and the tiny snowflakes are adorable too. Which one is your favourite?

 

Christmas Tree 1

Materials & Tools:

  • Green fondant
  • White fondant
  • Green royal icing or edible glue
  • Tiny fondant snowflakes
  • Christmas tree cookie cutter
  • Rolling pin
  • Knife

Directions:

Roll out the green fondant and cut out 4 Christmas trees using the cookie cutter.

Trim the trunks off the trees creating a flat base. Using a sharp knife, make a slit halfway down the top of a Christmas tree. Cut the same size slit from the bottom up of another Christmas tree.

Cut the remaining two trees in half as seen below. Let them all dry on a flat surface.

Slot the full pieces together and attach the half tree pieces using green royal icing.

Christmas Tree 2

Materials & Tools:

  • A pair of nail scissors
  • Rainbow nonpareils

Directions:

Start by making a cone shape out of the green fondant.

Then using the scissors start making little cuts into the cone. I started at the bottom but realized later that it would’ve been better to start at the top and work my way down… easier to make the cut outs without messing the snips below.

Pipe some white icing on and attach the rainbow nonpareils.

Directions:

Attach the strips with a little water around the cone, starting at the bottom. And no worries if you don’t join the ends of each strip very neatly; when you pipe the decorative string using white icing make sure you cover the edges properly.

Lastly, attach the fondant snowflakes.
